Private property owners have been notified of the scheduled harvesting and post-harvest burning. The PP boundary must be located and marked by the PA. All heads and debris are to be pulled back from the PP boundary on the western edge and where practicable a snig track is to be located adjacent to the boundary as a fire break.
FMZ FMZ 2, 3A Harvesting Excluded and FMZ 4- General Management occur within the compartment and are shown on the HPOM.
FMZ 2 & 3A – Harvesting and harvesting machinery are not permitted in these areas. PA must mark boundaries as shown on the HPOM.
Research Any other inventory plots located during the harvesting operation which are not shown on the HPOM or described above are to be treated the same as the surrounding area.
National Park National Park forms the western boundary of Comparment 641 adjacent to Ben Boyd Trail and is shown on the HPOM. The PA must mark the boundary as mapped. The crew must ensure access roads to the National Park are not impeded by forestry activities and the roads condition is maintained.

Modified Shelter-wood (MSW)
Entire Harvest Area
Wildfire events occurred in the compartments in 1951. Both compartments were harvested in alternate coupes in 1989, 2002 (Cpt 641) and 2003 (Cpt 637). A hazard reduction burn was conducted in Cpt 637 in 1997.
The areas identified for harvest are mature to over mature. These stands are dominated by Yellow Stringybark and Gum with a small portion of Silvertop Ash in Cpt 637.
The objective is to harvest all commercially available trees to create canopy openings and ensure mechanical disturbance creates a suitable seed bed for regeneration of the stands.
Crew to target sawlogs, pulpwood and other miscellaneous products as markets allow.
Crew to remove all merchantable stems not marked for retention.
The crew is responsible for protecting retained seed trees and retaining patches of advanced regeneration.
